After waking up in the same bed with Brad, Henry is convinced to go ask Vienna to take him back.  (Although technically she's the one that should be begging for forgiveness since she's the one that cheated.)  Vienna agrees to have drinks with Henry at the Lakeview, which gives Gray just enough time to "get rid of him."

Today’s episode was directed by Maria Wagner.  No writer listed due to writer's strike.

Henry: Liebchen.

Brad: Katie.

[ Both scream ]

Henry: Ahh!

Brad: Ahh!

Henry: Ahh!

 

Henry: What were you doing?

Brad: What were you doing?

Henry: I was waking up! It's no fun to wake up spooning Godzilla, let me tell you that!

Brad: Well let me tell you, it wasn't a picnic for me, either! What the hell are we doing here?

Henry: Wait, wait, wait. Wait a sec, wait a sec. I'm confused. Ugh! How much did we have to drink last night?

Brad: Oh, no, no, no, no. No, Henry, no, no, no. Okay, it wasn't that. Okay, we were just, we were asleep. It was an accident. It doesn't mean anything. You don't have to start questioning your manhood, all right?

Henry: What are you talking about?

Brad: Well, just because, you know, we were -- you were -- you know -- with the bed part --

Henry: No, no, no. I know that. No, no, no. I'm sorry. No, no, no. I know that. I just -- my question is, why are you here to begin with?

Brad: Well, I don't know -- I remember having a few cocktails.

Henry: I remember you swigging out of the bottle, as I recall.

Brad: Yeah, so were you.

Henry: Yeah, and you were discoursing on lost love and the tragedy that therein lies.

Brad: Oh -- discoursing? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I gotta tell you, this love thing is really tough on a man's liver. Come on, come on, we gotta get out of here. Come on.

Henry: No, no, no, no. Speak for yourself. Vienna is still with Gray. I got nothing to leave for anyway. Oh death, where is thy sting? Why don't you just leave me alone to my misery?

 

Brad: I can't go to work and leave you like this.

Henry: Why ruin your life for me? I have nothing to live for.

Brad: You have Vienna, if you can find the guts and go get her. All you need is a plan of attack.

Henry: Okay. I'm open to suggestions, Brad, because I am fresh out of ideas. Are you thinking? It's always so hard to tell -- got anything yet? Didn't think so. I'll see you next summer, Brad.

Brad: There's only one thing left to do.

Henry: What?

Brad: It's not going to be pretty.

Henry: What?

Brad: You're gonna have to beg.

Henry: What? I can't believe you just said that.

Brad: Neither can I, okay? But it's the only way you're gonna get Vienna back. You have to beg her, all right? So put on your best begging face, and let's go.

 

Henry: I don't -- this is not a good idea. Look at those two in there. I can't compete with that.

Brad: Look, you don't know that until you try. Now you get in there and you plead, grovel and beg.

Henry: No -- isn't it repulsive to see a man reduced to begging?

Brad: No. The way to a woman's heart is on your hands and knees.

Henry: Humphrey Bogart never begged.

Brad: Come on. Beg for Vienna to take you back. Come on. Come on. You can do it.

Henry: All right. All right!

Brad: She'll love it!

Henry: Okay, okay!

Brad: Trust me.

Henry: What else do I have to lose? Do me a favor, Brad, please do not watch this, okay? Because it's going to be really humiliating.

Brad: Okay, just go. Just go.

Gray: Coleman, I told you what would happen if you didn't stop harassing Vienna.

Henry: I just want to talk to her, all right?

Gray: Yeah? Obviously, you don't like brushing your teeth or tying your shoes, or doing all the things that people who still have their thumbs get to do.

Vienna: Gray, please. Let him speak. I want to hear what Henry has to say.

 

Henry: Vienna, look, you don't know how difficult this is. I'm sure it's ugly to watch. But, from the bottom of my heart, on my knee, I'm pleading with you, I'm begging you to take me back.

Gray: Okay, wise guy. Out you go.

Vienna: Gray, please. Let him speak. Henry, why? Why should I take you back?

Henry: Look, I know it's hard to see right now, when I'm so miserable, but I clean up really good, okay? And I'm quite an intriguing character when you think about it. I've led an interesting life. I've been down, but I've always come back. I work hard, sometimes. And I'm fun. Come on, we have so much fun together. We had incredible sex, right?

Gray: Watch it.

Henry: I'm speaking the truth here. The sex is was wonderful, right?

Vienna: Yes.

Henry: Yes.

Vienna: It was.

Henry: Yes, see? Liebchen, look, we belong together. Maybe it wasn't Paris, but it was still pretty great. And I don't know if I've lost you or not. I'm hoping that I haven't. Because you and me -- we'll always have Oakdale. And if you turn me down, I'm gonna curl up and die.

 

Vienna: That's true, Henry. We've been happy at times, but we've also been sad. You've made me laugh, but you've made me cry.

Henry: I know. I know, I know, and I want to make that up to you, okay? I want you to be happy all the time.

Gray: Yeah, how you gonna do that? Huh? The way I hear it, you're surviving on the charity of friends.

Vienna: Gray, please. I understand this is hard for you, but let us work it out. Maybe we should do this someplace private.

Henry: Yes, why don't we talk over drinks at Lakeview? What do you say?

Vienna: All right. Great. I'll see you there in an hour.

Henry: Yes, an hour. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, you are not going to regret this, okay? We can have a wonderful life together. You just have to give me a chance. Okay.

Vienna: Thank you, Gray. This is unfinished business for me. And I have to give Henry a chance. You understand, right?

Gray: Yeah, of course. You have to do what you have to do.

Vienna: You're so good to me.

 

Henry: All right. Which one? This one? Or this one?

Brad: The striped one.

Henry: They're both striped, Brad.

Brad: I know.

Henry: Oh come on. Would you help me here, please? Everything has to be perfect for my date with Vienna.

Brad: It doesn't matter what you wear. All you have to do is show up and she will fall into your lap.

Henry: How can you be so sure?

Brad: You love her. She loves you. It's a sure thing.
